Once again, the detail is just fantastic, Jim, just about wing tip to wing tip. Well composed, too. I like the orange DF against the light green bg. :toast:

Excellent for a windy day! I do see a little bit of haloing under the right back wing, the tip of the left back wing and the top of the abdomen. Outstanding detail on the d'fly! :toast:

The stack looks good, Jim. The red on yellow/green works very wellYes, you can stack even when there's motion between frames, as long as your within the movement tolerance of the software all it means is more clean up in post. :biggrin: I do see some artifacts, but the majority of the world is unlikely to notice.
